Course: Breakfast

Cuisine: Vegetarian

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb firm tofu
• 1 onion or scallion
• green veggies
• mushrooms
• other veggies and herbs you love
• turmeric
• nutritional yeast
• seasonings
• tahini
• gomasio

Directions

1. Rinse and drain tofu.
2. Put the tofu in a medium bowl and mush it up with your (clean) hands or a fork.
3. Chop up some onions.
4. Sautee the onions with about 1 T of olive oil in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
5. While that's happening, chop all your favorite veggies and herbs into bite sized pieces. Don't forget the greens and mushrooms! Use frozen veggies if that's all you have on hand. Just defrost them in a separate saucepan first. Leftover veggies are fine too.
6. Add the tofu, veggies, and herbs to the pan.
7. Add seasonings you love. I recommend always adding turmeric and nutritional yeast for color and extra nutrition. I pretty much always add a little Braggs Liquid Aminos (hippie soy sauce with a very specific flavor) too.
8. Cook over medium to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Your goal is to both cook the veggies and semi-brown the tofu, or at least cook off enough water so that it isn't soggy or runny.
9. Dish it out! If you're craving cheese or faux cheese (which is processed and has lots of sodium too), mix in a teaspoon of tahini (sesame seed butter). This is a tasty substitution that is also good for you. Sprinkle on some gomasio to add some saltiness and nutrition.
